st: Two way table of regression coefficients or intercepts with -esttab-

[Richard Herron <richard.c.herron@gmail.com>]

Can I make a two-way table of regression coefficients with -esttab-?
Sometimes I like to make a two-way table with either intercepts or
coefficients and I would like to automate it.

For example, here I generate three random variables, then form
quintiles on -a- and -b-, then find the mean of -c- in each of the 25
groups (intersections of -a_q- and -b_q-) with -regress-. This is
fairly easy with -table-, but is less extensible to displaying
intercepts, significance, etc (and I am not sure how to generate a
LaTeX table from -table-). Can I so this with -esttab- or -estout-?

Thanks!

* --- begin code ---

* generate data
clear
set obs 2000
generate a = rnormal()
generate b = rnormal()
generate c = rnormal()

* generate quantiles for for a and b
xtile a_q = a, nquantiles(5)
xtile b_q = b, nquantiles(5)

* I would like something like this two-way table of means, but that is
extensible to intercepts and/or more coefficients
table a_q b_q, c(mean c)

* but the best I can do is this very wide table that is not very readable
eststo clear
bysort a_q b_q: eststo: quietly regress c
esttab, not noconstant nogap compress
